How You Use the FRUSDR Load Utility

This utility is compatible with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22, MS-DOSVer. 6.22, and later versions. The utility accepts CFG, SDR and FRU load files. The executable file for the utility is frusdr.exe. The utility requires the following supporting files:

One or more .fru files describing the system’s field replaceable units

A .cfg file describing the system configuration

A .sdr file describing the sensors in the system

Command Line Format

The basic command line format is

frusdr [/?] [/h] [/d {smb, fru, sdr}] [/cfg filename.cfg] /p

Command

frusdr

/? or /h

/d {smb, fru, sdr}

/cfg filename.cfg

/p

Description

Is the name of the utility

Displays usage information

Only displays requested area

Uses custom CFG file

Pause between blocks of data

Parsing the Command Line

The FRUSDR Load Utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line function may consist of two parameters; for example, cfg filename.cfg. Any invalid parameters result in displaying an error message and exiting the program. You can use either a slash (/) or a minus sign (-) to specify command line options. The /p flag may be used in conjunction with any of the other options.

Displaying Usage Information

When the utility is run with the /? or /h command line flags, the following message is displayed:

FRU & SDR Load Utility Version X.XX

Usage: frusdr

Is the name of the utility.

/? Or /h

Displays usage information.

/d {smb,fru,sdr}

Only displays requested area.

/cfg filename.cfg

Uses custom CFG file.

/p

Pause between blocks of data.

Displaying a Given Area

When the utility is run with the /d SMB, /d FRU, or /d SDR command line flag, the indicated area is displayed. Each area represents a sensor; one sensor for each instrumented device in the server. If the given display function fails because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware failure, the utility displays an error message and exits.
